Gustav Weder (born 2 August 1961 inDiepoldsau) is aSwissbobsledder who competed from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. Competing in threeWinter Olympics, he won four medals with two gold (Two-man:1992,1994), one silver (Four-man: 1994), and one bronze (Four-man: 1992).

Weder also won eight medals at theFIBT World Championships with four golds (Two-man:1990, Four-man:1989, 1990,1993) and four silvers (Two-man: 1989,1991, 1993; Four-man: 1991).

Known for his intensity, Weder wouldvideotape every one of hisbobsleigh runs he raced on and study those videos for hours. It was so intense that Weder was caught one night during theFIBT World Championships 1990 inSt. Moritz scrapping ice off of a difficult corner on thetrack. Bobsleigh officials allowed him to compete, and he won his second world championship in the four-man Event.

After studies in Switzerland and Canada, Weder finished his education with a PhD with Arnd Krüger in Social Sciences at the University of Göttingen. He has been working in Human Resources for major Swiss companies.
